Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Season the chicken breasts with the salt and pepper.
  • Place in the prepared skillet and brown on both sides; about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Once browned, remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate/platter; set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until they become translucent;about 3 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms and broccoli to the skillet; cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the long-grain rice; cook for 2 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors from the vegetables.

  • Transfer the skillet to the pre-heated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
